Looking for the Best Pizza in Seattle? Look No Further! Talarico's Pizzeria of West Seattle & Their Sister Restaurant The Ballroom are on the Top of Our List for Our Out & About in the Emerald City's 'Dining With Sancho' Series!

One of West Seattle's best restaurants -- and sadly, there are few -- is Talarico's Pizzeria. They also have a sister restaurant in Fremont,  Seattle called The Ballroom. This is by far the best pizza in Seattle, especially since the closing of Capitol Hill's Piecora's pizza.   Talaricos/Ballroom serves a wonderful Caesar salad and slices is big as your head.  They have wonderful servers -- after going there more than a dozen times, I've yet to have a bad experience. And I'm a pretty demanding diner. They have great bartenders,  and they are one of my favorite places to watch football games -- go Hawks!
